Problem

(i) The curve CC has equation y=g(x)y=g(x) where

g(x)=e3xsec2xπ4<x<π4g(x)=e^{3x}\sec 2x\qquad -\frac{\pi}{4}<x<\frac{\pi}{4}

解答

(i)(a)

We have

g(x)=e3xsec2xg(x)=e^{3x}\sec2x

Use the product rule:

g(x)=ddx(e3x)sec2x+e3xddx(sec2x)g'(x)=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(e^{3x})\sec2x+e^{3x}\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(\sec2x)

Now

ddx(e3x)=3e3x\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(e^{3x})=3e^{3x}

and

ddx(sec2x)=2sec2xtan2x\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(\sec2x)=2\sec2x\tan2x

Therefore

g(x)=3e3xsec2x+2e3xsec2xtan2x\boxed{g'(x)=3e^{3x}\sec2x+2e^{3x}\sec2x\tan2x}

This can also be written as

g(x)=e3xsec2x(3+2tan2x)\boxed{g'(x)=e^{3x}\sec2x(3+2\tan2x)}

(i)(b)

At a stationary point,

g(x)=0g'(x)=0

Using the factorised form,

e3xsec2x(3+2tan2x)=0e^{3x}\sec2x(3+2\tan2x)=0

For

π4<x<π4-\frac{\pi}{4}<x<\frac{\pi}{4}

we have

e3x0,sec2x0e^{3x}\ne 0,\qquad \sec2x\ne 0

So

3+2tan2x=03+2\tan2x=0

Therefore

tan2x=32\tan2x=-\frac32

So

2x=arctan(32)2x=\arctan\left(-\frac32\right)

and hence

x=12arctan(32)x=\frac12\arctan\left(-\frac32\right)

Using a calculator,

x=0.491396x=-0.491396\ldots

Therefore

x=0.491\boxed{x=-0.491}

to 3 significant figures.

(ii)

We are given

x=ln(siny)x=\ln(\sin y)

Exponentiate both sides:

ex=sinye^x=\sin y

Since

0<y<π20<y<\frac{\pi}{2}

we have cosy>0\cos y>0. Therefore

cosy=1sin2y\cos y=\sqrt{1-\sin^2y}

Using siny=ex\sin y=e^x,

cosy=1e2x\cos y=\sqrt{1-e^{2x}}

Now differentiate

x=ln(siny)x=\ln(\sin y)

with respect to yy:

dxdy=cosysiny\frac{\mathrm{d}x}{\mathrm{d}y}=\frac{\cos y}{\sin y}

So

dydx=sinycosy\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}=\frac{\sin y}{\cos y}

Substitute

siny=ex,cosy=1e2x\sin y=e^x,\qquad \cos y=\sqrt{1-e^{2x}}

to get

dydx=ex1e2x\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} =\frac{e^x}{\sqrt{1-e^{2x}}}

Therefore

dydx=exf(x)\boxed{\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}=\frac{e^x}{f(x)}}

where

f(x)=1e2x\boxed{f(x)=\sqrt{1-e^{2x}}}
